Murphy's is a lovely stout, might even be my favourite above Guinness. I wish Murphy's was more available in the West and Midlands. Its hard enough to find it on tap here. Only select bars. If only Heineken put a fraction of the money in the advertising and distribution of these two great stouts as they did with Island's Edge
the fact that you drank Beamish in the oval is perfect, as the old brewery is literally just on the other side of the road, granted it's not made there anymore. Still, the bit about the "rolling the kegs straight out of the brewery into the pub" was most likely more accurate than you knew lol!
Hi Darragh, really enjoyed your more balanced take on Ireland's three premier stouts. I always found Guinness and Murphy's, to be quite similar to one another and preferred Beamish, for its' more roasted barley flavour. Having said that, I've been drinking stout for more than fifty years and I was an old soul when I started. Your maturity is definitely showing and that's no bad thing, both of the Cork, stouts are too good to be dismissed out of hand. I live in Central London, where all three are available, but Guinness, almost everywhere, Murphy's, less so and Beamish, quite difficult to find. Beamish & Crawford, used to have a tie in with Young's Brewery, when it was brewed in Wandsworth, South West London, I don't think that tie still exists. At more than twice your age, I hope to enjoy my stout for many years to come and I hope you do too, all the best now.
As someone who loves all three. I might have Beamish most often. But Murphys is probably the easiest down the hatch. Beamish has an almost roast coffee flavour. Guinness is lovely too.
Visited family in Limerick and Cork in 2005 and 2015 and Loved Beamish “the gentle stout”. I always found Murphys to have a roasted coffee like flavor. Returned in 2023 and Beamish was hard to find in Limerick, Galway,and Killarney. I did have a nice pint of beamish upon arrival and departure at Shannon. It was introduced here in the states on 2 occasions that I know of but never took hold.
You made a very good pint (sic) about maybe moving on to another stout as you get older. I started as a lager drinker in the mid 1990s (Miller) then moved to another lager (Heineken) after a few years. I then started drinking Guinness when I was around 25 or so and then changed to Beamish in my early 30s. Having said that I would drink only Guinness when in Dublin, and drink mostly Murphy's when in Cork as it is not readily available on draft in Limerick.
Fantastic profile pic from O'Donoghue's Opera there. Fantastic imagery of Ronnie in the noose. I edited together the verses of The Night Before Larry Was Stretched from that film on my channel.
Shame they've both retreated from the market here on the Island Next Door. I've fond memories of them, from visiting Cork and from their venture into the UK. (I think you can still get Murphy's here and there.)
There is a pub in Essex that has (or at least did until late last year) Murphys on permanently. It’s in Westcliff-on-Sea, not historically a bad pub, but unfortunately someone was murdered there on Xmas eve, so if anyone nearby wants to chance it…
@@oscarosullivan4513 I only tried it out of the bottle and I thought it didn't work at all. Even tried pouring it through the spout of the nitrosurge but it didn't help.
Some pubs in London do have Murphy's on tap from time to time. But it is rather rare and random. The Pavilion in Sydenham used to have it, sadly not anymore
myself and my best mate, two UK lads, we went to Cork for a short holiday and tried Beamish and Murphy's for the first time, interesting that I'm a MAHOOSIVE Guinness drinker and I preferred Beamish, my mate is MAHOOSIVE into his Ales and he preferred Murphy's, it kind of echoes what Dara says in this video
I'm looking forward to trying Beamish when visiting Ireland in August, not a massive fan of Murphys out of the can here in the uk, not seen on tap here for a good while. Murphys Irish Red is lovely!
Keeping this for Friday night GG. I’ll grab a can of all the stouts and see what’s happening. Also, saw you jogging again, in Portmarnock this time. Keep her lit lad 🏃♂️
Another visit to Cork and still no invitation to go for a pint, ffs Guru. I'll have to renounce my Meath heritage it this continues. Great video again all the same, the Oval is a top spot on a rainy day 👌
That comment as you sat down had me laughing before you started about the comb over 😂 I thought you were gonna do a hamlet advert then mines the same when wet no worries keep up the great reviews
Stout nights are great fun. 😁 Smithfield in Dublin was good for a while. One night last year my friend and I started in Oscars with Island's Edge and Murphy's then around Walshe's to finish on the Guinness and Beamish. I would love to find somewhere in Ireland where we could do that again. (O'Hara's included). Somerset has no problem showing off their ciders, why can't Ireland do that with stout. I also agree with your Coors and Moretti example. But Island Edge is the Coors, Guinness/Murphy's is the Moretti and Beamish is some mad Belgian Beer.
Great stuff Guru… I think you’re spot on in your analogy of starting with Guinness but progressing more onto Beamish and Murphy’s as the pallet develops. Keep up the good work and be sure to get to West Cork 👌
While in Collage in cork all the guys not from Cork switched to Murphys who drank Guinness at home... But Beamish is as popular now. Fair play to you. Your taste is evolving 🎉
Having just got back from Cork a few weeks ago and trying - my vote goes for Murphy's - really drinkable and 'light' but tbh i switched back to Guinness after about 6 pints and stuck to it for the rest of the weekend
We drank gallons of Murphys in Belfast in the 90s because it was £1 a pt! It would be weaker taste wise than Guinness. Unfortunately or fortunately we no longer have Murphys but we do have Beamish popping up in the Sunflower in Belfast and it is gloriously creamy. Hope they start rolling it out more in the North. Wonder what sales of Guinness are like in Cork vs. The home brews?
For the UK drinker, the only place I know that serves Murphy’s in London is a ‘gentleman’s club’ called the Griffin. If anyone knows of anywhere other than a place where you have a pint glass full of pound coins shaken at you at 15 minute intervals, I’d love to know.
Sending love from Arizona! I’ve never had Guinness, but after watching your videos, you’re making me not even want to consider trying until I make it to Ireland 😞
Old comment, but Murphy's is starting to become a lot more available in Dublin. Even more casual pubs that are more like restaurants are getting taps in. I'm guessing with Heineken cutting their losses with Islands Edge they've started pushing Murphy's and Beamish a lot more.
Hogarths Pub in South Shields part of Amber Tavern chain sell Murphy's sell it for amazing £2.20. Love to try a Beamish again but sadly can not get it England.
Love myself a pint is Murphy's but live now in Germany and struggle to find a decent Guinness at times. I come from North Cork so just within the range of a decent Murphy's
I've not even watched this video yet, just seen the thumbnail at the side & I dreamt about going out in Ireland & ordering one of each to try, in my dream I much preferred Beamish. Hope this helps
What about the Galway Bay Brewery stouts ? Could we see ya do similar video comparing their stouts. I think they have 3 stouts at the moment Obviously in Galway would be best but there's a few GBB pubs in Dublin
Your pallet is developing guru , won’t be long now before your taste buds won’t get any kick out of tasteless Guinness and watery murphys . Up the creamy beamys
Murphys, the fist beer I had coming back to Europe after a visit to San Francisco, in the Amsterdam airport pub. Lovely after being bombed with Californian hopped IPAs for 2 weeks.
I recently did a blind taste of beamish and Guinness. Hadn't drank either in a long while. Found the Beamish to be a lot more bitter, roasty, coffee, get a burnt flavour so I assume they my use patent malt, also got a good hazelnut flavour from beamish. Thought Guinness was quite bland compared to Beamish and didn't get the flavour you should get from a stout. I did find Guinness to be more creamier. The burnt flavour you get could be from black patent malt, which is different to roasted malt. This malt also gives a blackcurrant flavour.
I found Murphys to be better than guiness when I was over Cork...guiness I've had all my adult life ,Where as Murphys isn't around in England...i found it very similar but just a bit creamier than guiness and more taste notes ...I had last night a stout called night jar and I was very impressed 👌
Lads I'm a Guinness drinker all my adult life and recently went in to the Crane bar in Galway and had a few pints of Beamish They were sensational with rich creamy heads and an earthy flavour and cheaper than Guinness to boot Highly recommended
Was in the Oval years ago I started off on the Beamish but after 4 pints with whisky chasers moved on to the Murphy's the Beamish though nice gets a bit heavy after a few.
I did think in the preview your hair looks quite thick than normal I'm 31 and have similar hair to yours it's on the way out do you use hair fibres I used them but it's only temporary
The range of flavours in stouts is amazing. Coffee, tobacco, liquorice, chocolate. Then you get barrel aged ones with whisky or sherry notes. Then there's the Imperial stouts that get to 7% and more. Find a good pub that does decent beer, rather than a craft beer pub, and try whatever stouts they have. It'll be a taste sensation
Agreed more traditional pubs that serve smaller independent breweries stouts tend to be better such as my local but Porterhouse Temple bar is worth the trek.
It's about time we saw Beamish back in England ! I've had my own Beamish branded glass since about 1990, You could get Beamish almost everywhere in South East London where I live. At that time Beamish was my favourite followed by Guinness and then Murphy's. When inspector Morse was first broadcast, at the add breaks it used to say inspector Morse sponsored by Beamish. These days I always my souts in that same Beamish glass, which I take very good care of. Cheers 🍻 can't find an emoji with 2 stouts😂
The wife and myself will be celebrating her 65th birthday beginning in cork... as stout lovers ourselves, bet that the Oval will be on my to do list! One other note lad...as much as your video impressed me, PLEASE stay away from the blarney stone...😂 😂😂
For me Murphy's is like a mediocre Guinness but Beamish is its own thing. Love Beamish and Guinness (both very different drinks) and haven't found a stout as good as them.
@@edcorkie Bowling Green and Duffy’s in Chorlton and Brew Chimp in Stretford to name a few have good Guinness.I live in Castlebar County Mayo since Oct 2021 so Guinness is good👍
Judging by the thickness of the hair when it wet... I can see "The Best Pint in Turkey" at same stage in the future! 😉

I’m not far behind him in terms of overall loss. Maybe I’ll see him there too 😂

That brewery until it closed in 2009 was one of two Georgian porter breweries left the other one being St James Gate.

I don't think you can get Beamish now in the UK sadly.
Lived in Cork for 5 years and developed a fondness for Murphy's. The Mutton Lane Inn was my favorite pub.
That snippet about the weather was truly hilarious 🤣
Beautiful pints, made me thirsty
I've always thought Beamish is more of a Cork City pint, where as the real great pints of Murphys are found in West Cork.
As someone who loves all three. I might have Beamish most often. But Murphys is probably the easiest down the hatch. Beamish has an almost roast coffee flavour. Guinness is lovely too.
I did enjoy listening to the country western music playing in the background whilst reviewing Irish stouts.

Returned in 2023 and Beamish was hard to find in Limerick, Galway,and Killarney. I did have a nice pint of beamish upon arrival and departure at Shannon. It was introduced here in the states on 2 occasions that I know of but never took hold.
Fair play to ya guru, for going down to Cork City. I'm glad you enjoyed both the stout & the City, looking forward to your county tour.
Murphys -Great Beamish - Great Guiness - Great Love them all. Great review Guru. as always
I have to agree with you. It's all a matter of personal preference as they are very similar but emphasize different aspects.
You made a very good pint (sic) about maybe moving on to another stout as you get older.

You can’t even get it in our Irish part of the UK. Murphy’s is available in cans but Beamish isn’t.
There is a pub in Essex that has (or at least did until late last year) Murphys on permanently. It’s in Westcliff-on-Sea, not historically a bad pub, but unfortunately someone was murdered there on Xmas eve, so if anyone nearby wants to chance it…
For me my favourite Cork stout is white deer stag stout

Why can’t we get Beamish here in the states, damn it.
Great to see the Guru seeing the (red) light finally. A good Murphy's is hard to bate!

Beamish in sunflower is creamier than any pints of Beamish I had the year I lived in Cork
sunflower has unbelievable stout. great atmosphere in there too
Sell Beamish in the bullhouse on Newtownards road and the court house in Bangor. Superior to Guinness imo
Also the Sipster in Whiteabbey. Great Beamish and Guinness
Weatherspoons in Ireland sell Beamish.
Get down to glengariff in the summer nice little pub called bernard harringtons highly recommend

Beamish all the way. Great video.
Anytime I am in Cork I will have Murphys. Beamish is easier to find nationwide, so I will go for Murphys just for the novelty.
Old comment, but Murphy's is starting to become a lot more available in Dublin. Even more casual pubs that are more like restaurants are getting taps in. I'm guessing with Heineken cutting their losses with Islands Edge they've started pushing Murphy's and Beamish a lot more.
Finally onto the proper stouts. For those watching in London, the best Murphy's is in The Montpellier in Peckham.
decent hair transplants are only 2 grand in Turkey & the clinic covers the flights and hotel. That's an option if you're not ready to shave it
They didn’t cover my flights 😮
The chocolate bit in the middle made me worried these had broke you 😂
Only on Ireland though i have drank them both in Cork at the munster final football but i have had them both in London where i live both horrible
Head down east cork way. Lovely spot and I hear good Guinness.
I need to give Murphys another try. Im usually Guinness or Beamish. Im in Cork City and yeah, i dont see see people ask for Murphys as much.
Pint of plain was a tongue in cheek nickname same with bitter and mild.

Yes. Shave your head. Best haircut ever.
Fair play giving both another go. Very hard to judge a pint on one visit
You should see if beamish and Murphy do factory tours and film yourself doing that, would be interesting to see how different all three were
